The Real Evidences.

Modern skeptics claim that their OBJ
jections to Christianity rest on grounds
of which science alone is competent to
treat; that their distrust pertains to
matters of fact and not of sentiment,
that what they want is evidence of the
Divine authority of Christianity that
will stand the scrutiny and test of
science. by science meaning only and
always that which deals with the facts
of the senses. But they forget that the
real and decisive evidence of Christian
ity are not such rs physical science is
in any way competent to deal with.
These evidences are not at all matters
of the senses, but of the moral nature
of man. And yet they are not a mat
ter of mere sentiment, but of reason
and logic as well. There is logic of
the heart and the conscience, MS we'll
as of the understanding, and If these
be divorced in questions of religion and
morality, the result to both must be
disastrous. Christianity, accordingly.
alike in ITS evidences, it commands and
its promises, addresses itself directly to
the moral intuitions and not
to the sense organs. The Gospel
is its own evidence of its divine au-
thority, when once. its voice has
been heard, and its light seen, within
the inner chambers of the soul. But
for its voice to be heard the ..deaf ears''
must be "unstopped," and t"the eyes
of the heart" must be "enlightened. "
''The natural man receiveth not the
things of the spirit of God, neither can
he know them, because they are spirit
ually discerned."
Thus all preaching, whether apollo
getic or assertory, should always be q
diect appeal to the moral convictions,
because it is only within the moral con.
seriousness that the full evidence of the
Divine authority of Christianity can be
| fully displayed or appreciated. The
Gospel discloses to the soul its inner
necessities, and in disclosing makea
plain the fullness of its provisions, fol
supplying them. Every human heart,
consciously or unconsciously, yearns
for something better than it possesses
that better something the Gospel
clearly points ont and declares to be
attainable; for. the attainment, II
prompts the soul to bcstir itself; and
what it prompts to be done it enables
to do. q. Aobinson, ID. d.

A Pretty Good Bad Boy.

A good many years ago now, smah.
bare-legged boy set out from his home
in Portsmouth, N. H., for an after
moons sport with gun. He rambled
along, as boys will, with his eyes wide
open for every thing that came under
them. as we'll as for the game that was
the special object of his expedition, and
he had not gone far when he saw .
chaise approaching, driven by the Gov
ernor of the State.
The Governor was very popular
and distinguished man, who was being
talked of for the Presidency, and we
should not have liked the small boy il
he had not been little Overawed by
finding himself alone in the presence
of SO august parsonage. He was
equal to the occasion, however, and as
the chaise reached him, he stood aside
to let it pass and gravely presented
arms. The Governor at o-ee pulled
up his horse and looked with amuse-
ment at the little fellow standing there
as serious as a sentry, with his gun held
rigidly before him.

ernor.
"Thomas Bailey Aldrich," replied
the boy, with military salute.
He was invited into the chaise. and
though he lost his shooting. what was
that in comparison with the distinction
of riding into Portsmouth Town with
Governor Woodbury.?
This was forty years ago. and since
then Thomas Bailey Aldrich has earn
ed place among the foremost Of
American authors by series "f books,
some in prose and some verse, which
are distinguished by the purity of their
tone, the refinement of their style, and
the picturesqueness of their inven-
ton. One of them is called "The story
of Bad Boy" and except that some
of the names of persons and places are
changed, it is so faithful a picture of
the authors boyhood that it might be
called an autobiography.--Hm. h.

and hoodwinked their religion for the
sake Of being affiuent-if such riches |
are not fire and canker, then God has
not spoken the truth.
1t needs no prophet TO forctell what
will be the character Of people made
rich across their consciences by the
profits of distilling. They can not be
temperance men, any more than .
wolf can he a sheep by putting on his
skin; in becoming Christians they will
get far enough only to become hypo-
critics. Men who know very well be.
forehand what whisky will do to laws,
and yet, for money, open its flood
gates, will not be very stout defenders
of the law against dissipation. A con-
science venal to distilleries has no Writ
ue to resist other proffers. Men who,
unitedly, sustain distilleries against
public good, will separately cheat each
other for theirprivate good. Thus young
men will grow up without nerve to
work. and, with just nerve enough to
drink; they will be lazy in honesty and
Industrious in knavery. Men will have
too much TO do in keeping up courts and
jails to have time to build churches;
and poor-houses will ultimately sup
plant school-houses. The moment a
man sells himself to Mammon he
apostalizes from God; "you can not
serve God and Mammon." Let those
who mediate the sale first take full
measurement of the slavery. What
place would that be which has no God
but Mammon, and no conscience but
money! Men who begin downward
course by insidious degrees, ought to
know where the road ends which they
descend night and day. What if it
stops abruptly on the precipice of
perdition? Where would one natur-
ally expect that path to end which be-
gins at distillery? What will the
last step be, when the first step IS
planted upon the prostrate forms OF
conscience, religion and public good?
What juggle, what internal phantasy
has possessed the mind, when public
prosperity is sought for amid the ruins
of integrity, industry. patriotism and
religion?

aggravatcd-every evil passion WA
inflamcd, and 1t was only through the
interposition Of wiser counsels that
grave disaster was averted.
Here was sympathy, but II was a
mischievous sympathy. Instead of guild
ing it perverted, instead of allay-
ing selfish discomfort and hushing
down unwise ambition, it aroused every
bad impulse, and turned soul for the
time being into dark and satanic chan
nels. 1t was sympathy, but such a
sympathy as man better never have.
Here Is another instance. A young
man had been insulted, not directly,
but indirectly in the person of his faith
er. The wound inflicted was so sharp
and inexcusable that it aroused all the
anger of the young mans soul. He
saw in it an invasion Of private rights.
He saw in it misrepresentation
of motives which he knew to be
honorable and above suspicion. He
saw in it the arraignment of his
own manhood; and the only thing
it occurred to him to do was to
wipe out the indignity with blow.
What did men say to him? The whole
community was stirred, and everybody
was hurrying to express sympathy.
What was the tone and character of
this sympathy? just this. Hundreds
said: "You are indignant; so are we.
You feel that you have been. outraged;
SO do we. You think some sharp ex-
preston ought to be given to your
sense of wrong; so do we. Now strike,
and we will back you. Push to your
hearts content. and we will see that
no harm comes to you.'
That was the form the sympathy
took. 1t was not good and wholesome.
1t had the spirit of the pit in it. II
was lurid with vengeance. 1t could
only belittle the blind. Whereas true
sympathy would have lifted him above
the exploded sentiment of eye for eye
and tooth for tooth, and railing for rail
ing, and pointed out to him some
worthier method of voicing righteou:
indignation. True sympathy, while
approaching his feelings under tho
wrong, would have reminded him thai
the Perfect Man when reviled, revilet
not again, and so would have made hi:
wrong the occasion of moral triumph

aHURTFu+ SYMPATHY.

How Q Hcaven-Born Virtue May BE Mis-
applied and DO q Soul Great Harm.
1t is one of the beautiful and benef-
cient provisions of our Heavenly Father
that hearts in distress can feel for each
other and share one another's burdens
and woes.
From the nature of the case human
sympathy can not be what Divine SYM
pathyis; for men are not unselfish as
God ID; md they can not know and ap-
preciate what may be peculiar in any
given sorrow As God does; and they
can not, like God. who has all resources
of ministry In His keeping, and who
understands how to make approaches
and carry help along the lines of every
sense and faculty we possess. find their
way into all the secret chambers of the
soul, and ightup its darkness, and grid
its weakness, and whisper a consola-
ton just suited to its pangs. and per-
wade it with the atmosphere of Heavenly
Presence. u a. a
But men can do much to encourage
and strengthen each other, not only in
unraveling the small perplexities Of
life, and meeting the ordinary tempta-
tions which besct, but in those bitter
hours when, the heavens grow black,
and storms break and pour, and it
looks for awhile rs If there were moth
ing in store for one but shadows and
defeats and sorest calamities. In one
of these, experiences when distress
presses down on one with mountain
Gus weight, and the whole horizon OF
life is cloud-bound, how much of mean
ing there is, and how much of worth,
in a simple clasping of the hand, or in
the tremulous accent Of lip warmed
with genuine love, or in the trickling
of tear.
There is, however, another side to
the matter. II sympathy is often help.

are oonfrined by It in wrong positions,
and set forward in wrong directions

after suspense which seemed endless
to the anxious watchers on the wreck,
cheer from the shore, family through

the mother and child had got safely to

vently. "Now, lads, away you go; 1

among 'em, nohow.'
"What! is little Bill missing3" shout
ed the captain. 81 must go and see
about that at once"
Out he went that moment, weak
though he was: and he soon fell in with
three or four of his men, who, like HIM
self coming out of the huts in which
they had been sheltered. But none of
them knew anything about Bill, and
the captains heart was beginning to
sink, when somebody pulled him gen.
tly by the sleeve, and there stood the
missing boy, muffled in huge pilot
coat.
II was just a-lookin' for you SIR"
said Bill, touching his forelock.
"Why, where on earth have you been,
my lad?" asked the captain. We all
thought YOU were lost"
"Well, you see, sir, Jim Burrows
wrapped me in tarpaulin, and held
me in his arms while they pulled him
ashore; and may be that's how they
didn't see me. I've brought you some
thing from the wreck, though. Look

So saying, he produced from under
his coat the captains little raccoon.
Zip, which. overjoyed at seeing its
master again, leaped upon his broad
shoulders and rubbed its cold nose
against his face.
II didn't forget him. said the boy,
gleefully. II went down and got him

him inside my jacket; and here he is

Captain Barrett is an old man now,

FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
TWO LITTLE STARS.

Two darlings-Bess and Helen
Are cunningest Of sisters:
Full often they make mimic play
OF "entertaining vis'tcrs:'
OF 'going to church" It may be.
In Sunday school sweet singing;
Such quiet looks, and folded books,
To Sabbath service bringing!
Some ready vestment serves them
To play their little parts in:
Now, grandma's gown, now grandpa's brown
New coat, they'll try their arts in.
Or, just simple towel
Will do u mantle's duty:
'With border pink. really think"
Says Bess, ut is a beauty"
'Tis very. very funny,
To note their acted graces-
The comic talk. the tragic walk
The smiles, and the grimaces.
With which these charming children
Play caller and play 'preacher;'
Or quaint, essay kate Greenaway;'
Play school and quote the teacher;
''Miss Hearem has much trouble"
Says Bess, with girls she's ruling
For his dolls good, but ha, ones rude,
And Barbaras scarce worth schooling"
One day, she said, all dressed up
In finery-this midget
"'Tis my day out" We could but shout,
For, 10! there Haunted Bridget.
Sometimes a trailing garment,
With gracious air and tender,
Is donncd to show IN ANNA, you know"
In all her lovely splendor
No tone OF voice, or manner
or matron, child, or maiden,
Is lost on Bess; no speech, no dress,
But she will masquerade in.
And after her trots Helen,
Her toddling imitator,
Whose years are three-a wee thing, she,
But still star" to mate her.
These two dear Thespiau players
Recall to us, full sweetly,
How very straight should be the gait
That's mimmcked so completely.

ANGELIC FACES.
Truly, the light is beautiful,

Truly, the Hight is beautiful 4
From sun or moon or star.
But shining out from happy eyes
More radiant by far;
I sat within the village church,
Amid the gathered throng,
And heard the simple morning prayer,
The glad upliftcd song;
And when the good man stood to tell
OF fairer homes above,
The 'many mansions TINT are KEEP.
BY Gods unfailing love,
There was sweet-faced little maid
In quiet sitting by, "a rtIsutt ,tg
Who caught the tender words that fell,
With rapture In her eye: 't'.i.t.
could but watch the waves Of light
That pisy0d upon her face, IA
Where chiid.likS faith and hope had shed
Atouch' Of Heavenly grace.
The same words falling on my ear,
In that still Sabbath hour,
Drew from this sweet and trustful look
Their strong prevailing power.
could but pray, though half in joy,
And half in shame and grief:
"Lord, believe lift Thou my soul,
And help mine unbelief."
Along the city's crowded streets.
In sunshine, rain or snow,
Where eager, hurrying multitudes
Forever come and go, ..,-r
The dark-robed sacred Sisters pass,
Half hidden from the view.
Sent forth as Christ's disciples went
To journey, two by two.
Within these deeply shaded hoods
One sometimes sees q face n rFg
Where Christ-like suffering has left
Its clear and sanity trace;
Where homes long cherished. now arc dead
And earthly loves are still,
And life's long struggles all are hushed
To Gods most holy will;
4 face before which bigot zeal
And angry creeds depart,
And oil things blend in perfect peace
And purity of heart.
We catch the glance-a passing glance,
We ne'er may see again 'A. 'a
The gentle messenger moves on
To soothe some child Of pain;
But by that sweet. angelic face,
The grace to us Is given
To see that Christ still walks with men,
And earth Is near to Heaven.

Apleasant homestead stands,
In old-time, simple beauty kept,

And now, as from the heights Of age,
They view the pathway trod,
With JOY and gratitude they tell
The loving care OF God.
Their simple wants are all supplied.
Their cup-it runneth DER:
The rich mans wealth could nothing add
To their abounding store.
No false ambition stirs their hearts,
No earthly passions rise.
But Wisdom. born of faith and love,
Looks from their sanity eyes:
And when upon some winter eve
Around the cheerful blaze.

Der which the freight plays,
